4 Clear Complexion,

How can you expect a clear complexion
when the blood is full of Impurities and
the stomach ologged? The blood becomes
impure because the liver does not act
properly and work OFF the poison from the
system, and the certain results are blOtches,
pimples and eruptions. Purify the blood
with Simmons Liver Regulator, and regu-
late the liver, stomach and bowels, and
then the skin will become clear.
